Synopsis (short abstract) Incentives for ecosystem services (IES) are packages that aim to support farmers in the adoption of sustainable agricultural practices that will benefit the environment. Agricultural practices play a critical role for the environment. Likewise, the environment plays a vital role for the whole planet. Using and adopting agricultural practices that preserve, support and benefit all the ‘services’ provided by the environment, clean air and water, biodiversity, healthy soil, pollination etc. is ess ential if we are serious about a sustainable use of natural resources.

    The project aims to raise awareness and establish a basis for informed decision-making by public and private actors to support ecosystem services and contribute to long-term food security and sustainable agriculture development. Ecosystem services in agriculture are the benefits society gets from the environment thanks to farmers interventions. Nutritious food, clean water, healthy soils, pest and disease control and biodiversity are just a few examples of those benefits.

    The Payments for Ecosystem Services (PES) to Support Forest Conservation and Sustainable Livelihoods project, supported by the Global Environment Facility (GEF), sought to promote biodiversity conservation and climate change mitigation in the Miombo forest ecosystem. It aimed to strengthen the existing revenue sharing mechanism (RSM) that supports the sustainable use and conservation of forests and wildlife and improves local livelihoods. The terminal evaluation covered almost the entire original implementation period and had a dual purpose of accountability and learning, making it summative. The evaluation covered the Zambezia Province districts where project activities were implemented.
